Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panel)
Blood testing gives us a detailed look at your pet’s internal health. A complete blood count and chemistry panel can help detect:
Urinalysis
Urine testing provides insight into kidney function, hydration levels, and urinary tract health. It is often recommended alongside bloodwork for a more complete picture.
Fecal Exams
Fecal testing helps identify intestinal parasites that may not be visible. Routine screening is an important part of preventive care, especially for pets that spend time outdoors or around other animals.
Skin Scraping & Microscope Cytology Evaluation
If your pet is dealing with itching, hair loss, or skin irritation, these tests help identify underlying causes such as mites, bacteria, or yeast infections. This allows us to choose the right treatment and bring your pet relief sooner.
Allergy Testing
Allergies can affect a pet’s comfort and quality of life. Testing helps identify environmental or food-related triggers so we can develop a plan to manage symptoms long-term.
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiographs allow our veterinary team to evaluate bones, joints, and internal structures. This is useful for diagnosing injuries, arthritis, and certain internal conditions.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound gives us a closer look at soft tissues and internal organs. It is a valuable tool for evaluating the abdomen, detecting abnormalities, and guiding treatment decisions.
Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG)
An ECG records your pet’s heart rhythm and helps detect irregularities. This is especially important for pets with suspected heart conditions or those undergoing certain treatments.
